Restaurant group D&D London has announced it will open a new chef driven restaurant concept at Hudson Yards in Manhattan, New York City.

The unnamed, modern brasserie concept is expected to open in the autumn of 2018. It will join a collection of restaurants curated by chef Thomas Keller and Related Urban President & CEO, restaurateur Kenneth A. Himmel.

D&D’s new 11,000 square foot restaurant on the fourth floor will serve a menu of modern brasserie cuisine and will boast views of Thomas Heatherwick’s Vessel, the Public Square and Gardens, and the Hudson River.

Chairman and CEO of D&D, Des Gunewardena, said: “We are absolutely thrilled to be opening a restaurant in what is widely considered to be the most exciting and ambitious development in New York.

“It has long been a desire of ours to bring a new flagship restaurant to this amazing city. We spent a lot of time considering where to open and believe that the dynamism and creativity of Hudson Yards makes it the ideal location for us.”

Founded by Des Gunewardena and David Loewi in 2006, following a buyout of Conran Restaurants, D&D London’s restaurant include Quaglino’s, Le Pont de la Tour, and Bluebird.
